ROTHERHAM 1 Ward 32 BRENTFORD 0

ALAN STUBBS praised his side’s character as Danny Ward’s goal was enough to give him a first win as Rotherham boss.

They got off the mark after a draw on the opening day and then back-to-back 3-0 away drubbings, but Stubbs said: ‘The mood was good anyway, but it has lifted the mood for the fans and the club.

‘We have had as difficult a start as anybody in terms of who we have played. You have to be very organised and show a lot of commitment and character.’
